This page is help to serve the DayHard community with a list of all errors that people have been getting during gameplay. Some other less serious bugs, can be found in my Secret/Tricks page. I have never gotten any physical errors or anything else listed on this page, this was all compiled from other people's reports.

Part 4 not loading

This map does not seem to load, or load properly (black screen).
Why: Unknown
Solution: Applying the newest patch (patch 3b), and then using "map part4" in console should load Part 4 properly.

"Bad inline model" crash

This seems to be happening to people that used to get the no free edicts crash when updating to patch 3b.
Why: Unknown
Solution: Unknown

Jack doesn't get in cable car

Jack doesn't seem to want to get into the cable car or tram with you in Part 5 no matter how many ways you try.
Why: Bad waypoint placement.
Solution: Applying the newest patch (patch 3b) will fix this.

"ED_Alloc: no free edicts" crash

This happens when saving in certain areas in Part 1, starting a new game, and loading in certain parts.
Why: Unknown
Solution: Applying the newest patch will help in most of the cases (patch 3b), but continued reports still say this is a prevalent problem.

Energy field bug

After disabling the energy field with placing the button in the right spot, sometimes you will still not be able to walk through the field, even though it is disabled.
Why: Unknown
Solution: Applying the newest patch should fix this error (patch 3b).

Control configuration reset

You have to redo all control configurations every time you re-open the game.
Why: config_dayhard.cfg sets controls over top of your current controls every time the game loads.
Solution: Applying the newest patch should fix this error (patch 3b).
Solution #2: Remove or edit instances of controls you wish to permanently set in cfg/config_dayhard.cfg by opening that file with notepad.

Combine Suit crash

Game crashes when Jack and Morgan get the combine suits in Part 5.
Why: Unknown
Solution: Unknown

No HEV in Part 2

You don't start with a HEV suit (no HUD and crosshair) in Part 2.
Why: Unknown
Solution: Unknown
